Peaceful Waters
(Am) The dead leaves of autumn
That cling so desperately
Must fly before the cold October winds
(Dm) Their simple life is (E) ended
(Dm) Must they be born to die a(Esus4)gain (E7)
Oh
(A) may the light of (G)
freedom
(D) shine
For
(Esus4) all the
(E7) world to
(A) see
And peace
and joy to (G) all
man(D)kind
Through
(Esus4) all the
(E7) years to
(A) be
For
soon
the (G) leaves
will (F#) die
And the
(Bm) long hard wind will
(Esus4) blow
(E7)
May
(A) this world find a
(G) resting (D)
place
Where
(Esus4) peaceful
(E7) waters (A)
flow
Within
my
heart there lies a spring
Where love
and peace abide
And from
that spring there flows a river fine
Through
all the countryside
But few
have drunk therein and why I do not know
May this
world find a resting place
Where peaceful
waters flow
